[[Tsets] - Rain Shadow (WIP)]

Really laid-back vibe I'm getting from this one. The kick drum strikes me personally as being too high in the mix, but it's not really a big issue. Mixing and production-wise, everything seems good to me; you have nice tones and soundscapes going on here.

My biggest criticism of it would be that there isn't that much going on musically that's very engaging; it's need of more memorable motifs - the track just feels like a chord progression with not that much else going for it, y'know?

Still, it's definitely an enjoyable track, and you got the vibe you were going for. Keep up the good work!

[In Between]

4/5 / Excellent

Notes:

1. I am definitely getting a bit of a baroque feel from this, as well as an RPG vibe. This piece has a very atmospheric vibe to it, but the exact mood is difficult to pinpoint. It's a fine instrumental piece for sure, and I have no qualms with this compositionally.

2. This almost has a realistic, human feel to it. I'm not entirely sure how you would go about changing the dynamics on this song, but it would definitely help. The mixing and panning's good, and the reverb sounds good and natural.

It's good to know my "humanization test" worked, now I need to work on some note release randomization to complete the effect. Thanks for the feedback.

[Whimsical Wonders ~Mastered~]

3.5/5 / Great

Notes:

1. Compositionally, this piece is very enjoyable, I like the little melody that starts up around 3:15. I have no qualms with the composition, it's well done and the arrangement is nice.

2. The bass drum and noise sweeps stand out to me as being a bit too loud in the mix, and I think it would be an improvement if the percussion as a whole was lower in the mix.

Wow! I figured their would be more issues with this song! XD Honestly, volume control was always my downfall. Not gonna lie when I say that the kick was at 100 percent volume compared to everything else. The noise sweep was a bit in your face I guess. It was the sound that had one of the lowest volumes, but the frequencies were pretty high so that would explain it. I'm glad that you enjoy the melody! It's really catchy to me.

Well, I'll get it right next time! Thanks for the review good sir. ^~^

[Wonder]

4/5 / Excellent

Notes:

1. While the instruments do sound a bit synthetic, the song's great compositionally. Everything mixed well, and I really like the instrumentation on this track.

2. As for creating a feel/vibe with this track, I think you did a really good job. It sounds like something I'd hear in the score music for a game or a film, and it has a great atmosphere to it.

5/5 / Amazing

Notes:

1. I like this one a lot, it's very well done for your first attempt. I really liked the sound design. Compositionally, this song is great, and it held my interest the whole way through.

2. I personally wouldn't change anything about this one, actually; it's perfect the way it is.
